Description
This is a pair of reversible pillowcases in a polyester and cotton blend, and the point of them is that each side is a different stripe. One face carries bold, broad bands; turn it over and the other face runs fine, narrow lines. In the raspberry smoothie colourway both sides work in the same warm palette of soft pink and a deep brick red, so the two looks coordinate rather than clash. You are effectively getting two styles from one set, which is a genuinely useful thing when you like to change a bed without buying new bedding.
Pillowcases live at the top of the bed, the part of it a room reads first, so this is where a change of look pays off most. Use the bold side when you want the bed to lead the room, flip to the narrow stripe when you want it calmer, or set one pillow to each and let them play off one another. The warm pink and brick tones sit happily with terracotta, natural wood and other muted earthy shades, and they pair readily with the wider Ultimate Stripe reversible bedding this pair is drawn from.
The blend is a little over half polyester with the balance cotton, which is what gives these their easy-going nature: the cotton brings softness and breathability against the skin, while the polyester helps them dry quickly and shrug off creasing. The supplier confirms there is no need to iron, so you get a crisp finish with no effort at the board. Each case closes with an envelope opening, which tucks the pillow in neatly and keeps it from working loose overnight. Print, palette and the two-sided stripe are what carry the set, and the whole thing is built to be lived with and swapped about as the mood takes you.

Frequently Asked
Are both pillowcases the same, and how many do I get?
You get a matching pair, two pillowcases, each reversible with the bold stripe on one side and the narrow stripe on the other.
What does reversible actually mean here?
Each case is printed on both faces with different stripe widths, so you can flip it over for a fresh look without buying a second set.
Do these need ironing?
No. The supplier states there is no need to iron, and the polyester in the blend helps the fabric resist creasing for a crisp finish straight off the line.
What is the fabric made of?
They are a blend of 52% polyester and 48% cotton, so you get the softness and breathability of cotton with the quick drying and easy care of polyester.
How do the pillows go in?
Each case has an envelope closure, an overlapping flap that holds the pillow securely inside and keeps it from slipping out during the night.
